Between Sundays

his eyes they'll tell his stories

and his knuckles show the scars

from forty years of fixing flats working on cars

he believes in being faithful

says dance with who you brought

one of many pearls of wisdom

roll right off his tongue

says if you can't feed the hungry

put a smile on an orphan's face

it don't mean a thing

that you know the words to amazing grace

and life don't always run

like a well old machine

you catch more flies with honey

than you do by being mean

and anytime you help someone else

it all comes back around

and the measure of a man

can best be found between sundays

well he's never made much money

but he could always spare a buck

before anyone in town down on their luck

i saw him working on a van

for a single mom who couldn't pay

he fixed it up as good as new

and sent her on her way

says if you can't love your neighbor

like you love yourself

blow the dust off of that good book

oh and put it back on the shelf

cause life don't always run

like a well wared machine

you catch more flies with honey

than you do by being mean

and anytime you help someone else

it all comes back around

and the measure of a man

can best be found between sundays

he's only missed church twice

since nineteen ninety four

but knows what matters most

is what goes on outside those doors

and life don't always run like a well wared machine

you hitch more flies with honey

than you do by being mean

and anytime you help someone else

it all comes back around

and the measure of a man can best be found

yeah the measure of a man can best be found

between sundays
